Ok,...so,.....now they are saying we may have some snow Wednesday into Thursday. Some of the Radar Boys are predicting 3-6 inches. Others, 18-36 inches for this area. So what's it going to be, boys,.....all or nothing?!!? Sheesh! The storm hasn't even formed yet.

I'm only about an hour Northwest of you (Lewistown area) and they aren't calling for really anything around here. So, we'll probably get two feet.

It's going to be a snowpocalypse! That's the way some of the talking head are talking. I remember the blizzard of '96. Went to bed with a forecast of moderate snow. Woke up to almost 2 feet. :shock:

I'm sick of this weather. I hate the winter as it is and I really hate snow. I've heard a bunch of different things for me. 6-8", 8-10", 10-14" ...They have no friggin' clue. on top of that I've heard different things as to when it's supposed to start/stop. Wednesday-Thursday, Wednesday-Friday, Wednesday-Saturday.

I just wish this winter would go away.

Yes, Winter,.....GO AWAY! It's my first season with my coal boiler so I wasn't completely sure how much coal I would burn. I guesstimated 5 tons based on last years weather. Last year it would have been 5 tons. I've got about .75 tons of my 5 tons left. Time to order more,...me thinks :mad: so far, we're more than 400 degree days ahead of last year :(

I always figured if it was Jan or Feb it was going to be cold and if it was going to be cold there may as well be snow on the ground! Bring it on!!

Plus I have a day of skiing planned for Monday so I may be a little biased! :D
